The ODF-Next SC has been iterating on text for the call for proposals for
ODF-Next. We've also figured out how to automate the extraction of
comments from the mailing list, so we're confident we can handle any
volume we receive.
Here is the latest version of the text we have. I'd like to see this
approved by the TC and sent out ASAP. If we can get this done now, there
is a good chance that we'll get the bulk of the ODF-Next traffic (likely
front-loaded) before we send the send ODF 1.2 out for public review.
If there is time on today's TC call, I'd like to briefly discuss and see
if the TC agrees that we can go forward with this.
Regards,
-Rob

You are invited to help define the feature set of the next revision of
OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF). Help us take "ODF-Next" to a higher stage
of document evolution. Be creative. Push the envelope. Be provocative.
Change the paradigm. Start a revolution.. The only limits on our vision
are our own.
The OASIS ODF TC has recently finalized the approval of technical
proposals which will be included in ODF 1.2. After these proposals are
integrated into the ODF 1.2 draft, and remaining editorial tasks are
completed, the draft specification will be sent on for Public Review, and
then finally onto a ballot for approval as an OASIS Standard.
Concurrent with these final stages of ODF 1.2 work -- which may take
several months -- the ODF TC wishes to start a public conversation related
to the technical contents of "ODF-Next", the provisional name for the next
major version of ODF. The ODF TC has created a subcommittee, the ODF
Requirements Subcommittee, chaired by Bob Jolliffe
